SDAX, SGPMX to expand choices for exchange participants

The parties signed a memorandum of understanding to deliver new investment choices.

Blockchain-based digital asset exchange SDAX has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with physical bullion-backed precious metals exchange SGPMX to deliver more choices and new investment investment opportunities for investors.

Under the MOU, both exchanges will develop what is set to be Singapore’s first digital token for physical bullion trading.

The digital token will be listed and traded on SDAX, enhancing price discovery and access to physical bullion investment opportunities.

“As a digital asset exchange, we are constantly exploring ways to open new possibilities beyond the offerings of traditional exchanges. SDAX will gradually expand to include new products and asset classes,” SDAX deputy chairman Tan Chong Huat said.

SGPMX will explore the development of indices tied to physical bullion products to be tokenised, listed and traded on SDAX’s exchange.

“The universal appeal of physical gold and silver as an asset and store of value complements the use of fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies for digital asset investors,” SGPMX CEO Victor Foo said.

SDAX will also leverage SGPMX’s secure storage and custody facilities at Le Freeport for the underlying physical assets of digital securities listed on SDAX’s platform.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
